Beetroot & Ginger Juice - Perfect Pre-Workout Boost
This beetroot juice is so tasty, you'll want to make it even when you're not working out! It's quick and easy to prepare, and you can easily adjust the ingredients to suit your taste. Sometimes, I swap apple for celery or even add pomegranate for an extra boost.
Equipment
- 1 blender
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized Beetroot
- 1 medium-sized Apple
- 1 small-sized Carrot
- 4 cm or 1 inch fresh Ginger
- 1/2 a Lemon juice
- 1/8 tsp pinch of black pepper optional
- 1/8 tsp of Turmeric optional
- 1-1/2 cup of Filter Cup
Instructions
- Wash the Vegetables: Start by thoroughly washing the vegetables. You can peel them if you prefer, but I’m using organic produce and keeping the peel for extra fibre and nutrients.
- Prep the Beetroot: Trim the hard end of the beetroot and peel it if you prefer. Cut it into small chunks and add them to the blender jar.
- Prep the Carrot: Remove the green top of the carrot, cut it into chunks, and add to the blender jar.
- Prep the Apple: Halve the apple, remove the core, cut it into small pieces and add to the blender jar.
- Prep the Ginger; Use a teaspoon to peel the ginger. If you're short on time or want to add extra fibre, you can leave the skin on. Cut the ginger into small pieces and add them to the blender jar.
- Add Lemon, Turmeric, and Black Pepper: Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the jar. If using, add the turmeric and black pepper.
- Blend the Ingredients: Add 1 cup of filtered water to the blender and start blending. As you blend, gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup. If you prefer a thinner texture, feel free to add more water.
Notes
If you prefer less fibre, you can peel the vegetables before blending. Or alternatively you can sieve the juice after blending.
